01 / About

Where software meets real systems.

I develop software, firmware and systems that interact with the real world: electronics, robotics, aviation and connected devices.

I also work with Linux, infrastructure and DevOps. This gives me a practical end-to-end perspective, from hardware interfaces to development environments and reliable operations.
